Thinking about Ed Shiers today

 We are currently having solar panels fitted to the roof of our villa - 15 panels which is slightly more than we had on nb Waka Huia...

Instead of it being just Ed fitting them, here we have a crew of about 7. There's ropes and harnesses being employed because our roof is a series of steep sections that the panels are being fitted on.

 

Matt on the flat section above our bedroom. He's working on removing tiles that have to be adjusted so the struts for the panels can be fitted.

AJ removing tiles from over the garage

 

Matt removing or replacing the tiles - hard to see which from thios angle...

Two of the guys adjusting tiles and applying sealant. Susan's camellias are getting rather dusty...

 

 

Two other workers waiting for their jobs to be ready, I think.

Sewtting up happening at the trailer. The panels are in that big box.

 

AJ trusts his harness. Not sure where it is fixed to on the other side of that garage roof...

We are looking forward to lower power bills and being able to feed power back into the national grid and getting credits for that!

Of course there have been cheese scones made and fed to them at the outside table. Tomorrow it'll be shortbread - I made a batch (NEVER AGAIN!! what a bloody faff...) and then left the house to go and take photos, so it's a bit browner than it's meant to be. Definitely not suitable for selling at the Fair which was the original intent. But I reckon the guys will be happy enough with it.
